Summary
On the morning after the worst day of Michael Guerin’s life, he wakes up in the last place he expects to be—in 2007, on the first day of senior year.
Armed with knowledge of a future he now desperately hopes to change, Michael must retrace the steps of his past, as he builds a better future for himself, his family, and the man he loves. With the help of their loved ones, Michael and Alex find themselves presented with something almost no one gets: a second chance to get things right.

Summary
“Bitch, we are your campus tour,” Margo announces with finality. For a second Quentin's hackles go up, but then – that's not really an insult when another omega says it, right? It seems like in – movies or whatever, omega friends call each other that all the time. Quentin wouldn't know, he's never had an omega friend, and the idea that Margo, with her perfect hair and her fancy eye makeup and her swaying stride in thigh-high boots, could even theoretically be his first kind of beggars belief. It's not like hey, you've been accepted to the magic school you never applied to levels of improbable, but it's – like, whatever's right below that, basically.

Summary
"You know," Margo says. "Back when Eliot wasn't m—iddle-aged and boring, I used to hook him up, on his birthday."
[Or: for Quentin's extra-special-est birthday present, Eliot lies back between his legs and makes out with everyone while Margo directs: what could possibly go wrong?]

Summary
“If you’d like to review the full terms and conditions of your deal, you can have as much time as you need to read--”
Eliot shook his head, still not quite used to the way his hair curled below his chin, now, since he hadn’t been around to keep it properly groomed for the last-- however long it had been. God, he hadn’t even bothered to ask.
“You get my deep, dark, never-told secret, and I get the opportunity to try and Orpheus-and-Eurydice Q the fuck out of this place,” he said, cutting through Penny’s bureaucratic power-trip. “I got it the first twelve times.”
“I would strongly advise--”
“I’m ready.”
The corners of Penny’s mouth went up, but it would have been a stretch to call the expression a smile. “No, you’re really not."
The Monster's been defeated, Quentin is dead, and Eliot has a quest of his own--if he can trust himself to complete it. An Orpheus and Eurydice remix.

Summary
Adam likes his job. Sometimes he might even go as far as to say that he loves his job; he enjoys the work, his little office with the big window, the way the building smells like books, and the fact he can turn his email notifications off on a Friday night and know nothing world-ending will have happened by Monday. Compared to his short stint in law, publishing was a breeze.
Most of the time. Adam likes his job, most of the time.
